Vancouver’s Family Cross Country Ski Club at Cypress Mountain
Hollyburn Jackrabbit Ski Club, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is a non-profit cross country ski club run by a volunteer executive and qualified volunteer
coaches. The 500 member club follows the Cross Country Canada endorsed Jackrabbit program to introduce children to cross country skiing, fitness and winter fun. Presently we have
over 290 young skiers, aged 4 to 14 years, instructed by more than 70 volunteer
coaches in the Jackrabbit, Racing Rabbit and Teen programs. The
club skis at the Hollyburn Ridge cross country area of Cypress Mountain, located just 25 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
Club Objectives
The club provides families in Greater Vancouver the opportunity to learn and
excel at cross country skiing in a fun, convenient and encouraging environment.
Children, youth and adults develop the basics of good cross country ski technique, fitness and how to stay safe and have fun in a winter playground.
The
club follows the Cross Country Canada Athlete Development Model, starting
with the Jackrabbit Ski League program for children, which then leads into
either recreational or competitive programs for youth and adults. Parents
are encouraged to be actively involved as coaches, mentors, racers and
volunteers.
